Tame Impala by Tame Impala

Tame Impala, the second EP from Kevin Parker's psychedelic project out of Perth, arrived on Modular Recordings on 11 October 2008, with Parker producing it himself; in the studio he writes, plays and records the music on his own. It's the sound of a bedroom stretching out to the size of a festival field: phased, fuzzed-up guitars, drums with a heavy, loping swing, and vocals drifting in from somewhere near the back of the room.

Three singles came off it, "Desire Be Desire Go", "Half Full Glass of Wine" and "Skeleton Tiger", and all three got national airplay on Triple J. The EP went to number 1 on the Australian independent labels chart and number 10 on the ARIA physical singles chart, clearing the way for Innerspeaker, the full-length debut. A Record Store Day reissue in 2013 added "Wander", pressed on vinyl for the first time.
